Hello everyone,
Taking the plunge into the world of RV’ng, and looking for some help. I have been doing research on what seems to be the two most important aspects of towing, which is payload and axle weight ratings. I have an understanding of payload. What I am very confused about is GAWR. My tow vehicle is a 21 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab, 4x4. Payload is 2145#. Front axle 6000 and rear 6040. GVWR is 10k. Shouldn’t the axle ratings equal 10k? The trailer we are looking at is a Reflection 280rs. Can someone please explain how this specific trailer applies to my axle ratings. Only info I am finding online is the definition of what axle weight rating is but no breakdown of how it actually applies to a 5th wheel in real world scenarios. I appreciate in advance in responses, or direction to related links. Thanks
